Virus Removal & PC Optimization in Benfica

About our service in Benfica

A laptop of five or eight years old lives in a dense neighbourhood, between the older blocks along the Estrada de Benfica and the newer estates at Grão Pará, and it spends the year on a bed, a sofa or a table with a cloth on it. The air intakes get covered, dust packs into the radiator and the fan can no longer pull the heat out. The processor defends itself in the only way it knows: it slows down. Hence the feeling that the computer is dying when in fact it is simply suffocating. We open the machine, lift the block of dust out of the radiator, clean the fan, replace the thermal paste when it has dried out, and measure temperatures before and after, idle and under load, so you can see the real difference. With the heat dealt with, we tackle whatever slowness is left. Many of these machines still have a mechanical disk, and that is where most of the waiting happens: at startup, opening the browser, saving large files. Moving to an SSD carries the system and the files across exactly as they are, with no reinstalling, and it is the change you feel most. If the memory is short for the way the machine is used, we say how much can be added and whether the equipment is worth it — and when it is not worth it, we say that too, rather than pushing new parts into a machine at the end of its life. The software side closes the job. We remove viruses, dubious cleaning programs whose only purpose is to alarm you, browser extensions and everything that starts with the system for no good reason. We check the updates that are overdue and the state of the antivirus, and we test the old disk before handing it back to you, so it can be kept as a copy. Before anything is opened or replaced, the data is copied: we never open a machine with files still unsaved, even when everything suggests it will go smoothly.
